Josh and Amelie discuss credit cards–how do you build good habits? The strategies are slightly different Top takeaways: The proper way to use a credit card is to use it exactly like a debit card–use it for everyday purchases and pay it off every month. For new users (whether brand new or people who have had debt recently), start with something small and simple–put gas purchases on your card, pay the statement in full every month. For new users, keep the limit relatively low and don't necessarily increase the limit. For experienced users (made full payments every month for 24 months), you can start adding in multiple cards and rewards and all of that kind of thing. If you're trying to start over, stop using cards and get to the point where balances are consistently going down. Then get a new card with a low limit or a paid off card with a low limit and go back to using it for one type of simple purchase each month (like gas).

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, your host Analytic Dreamz unpacks the buzz surrounding Playboi Carti's highly anticipated album, I AM MUSIC, originally slated for a midnight EST release on March 14, 2025, but pushed to 3 a.m. EST after Young Thug submitted his verse just in time. The star-studded project features heavyweights like Travis Scott, Future, Lil Uzi Vert,The Weeknd, Skepta, Young Thug, Ty Dolla Sign, and a mystery artist yet to be revealed. DJ Akademiks, who previewed the album on March 13, dubbed it a 'day one classic,' fueling speculation with teases of a Kendrick Lamar feature and a posthumous XXXTENTACION collaboration. Carti plans to debut I AM MUSIC live at Rolling Loud California 2025 before hitting the road with The Weeknd. Following the massive success of Whole Lotta Red, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 units in 2020, fans took to X in a frenzy over the delay. Memes and the 'I AM DELAY' trend dubbed it the '3/14/2025 Incident,' reflecting Carti's signature unpredictable drops. Despite the wait, excitement remains electric—Analytic Dreamz breaks down why the internet will erupt when I AM MUSIC finally lands.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say The Darndest Things, A.B. Ridgeway breaks down the financial quicksand that is credit card debt and shares strategies to regain control of your financial future. With interest rates climbing to as high as 23%, getting out of credit card debt seems harder than ever. But with the right approach, such as leveraging personal loans, improving credit scores, and negotiating with creditors, you can begin to make real progress.Here's how to approach it:3 Key Takeaways:Use a Personal Loan to Escape High-Interest Debt Credit cards can carry overwhelming interest rates, but personal loans often offer much lower rates. Use the loan to pay off your credit cards, then focus on chipping away at the loan itself. This can help avoid paying upwards of 23% in interest fees.Good Credit is Your Golden Ticket Whether it's getting a personal loan, refinancing debt, or negotiating better interest rates, good credit is the foundation. Focus on improving your credit score before making any major financial moves, as it significantly impacts your financial opportunities.Always Negotiate for Better Terms One of the best-kept secrets in personal finance is the power of negotiation. Don't hesitate to call your credit card company and ask for a lower interest rate. Studies show that this works over 76% of the time—simply asking can save you thousands in interest over time.3 Powerful Quotes:"Who wants to pay 23% interest? Nobody." — A.B. Ridgeway This highlights the crippling effect high-interest rates can have on your financial freedom."Credit is like telling the world, you have not paid off the people you owe." — A.B. Ridgeway This vivid analogy underscores how crucial your credit score is in the financial world."It is very dishonest to take money from someone and refuse to pay them back, whether it's your student loan, credit card, or anything else." — A.B. Ridgeway A reminder that integrity in finance means honoring your commitments and paying off debts.This episode emphasizes the importance of taking proactive steps to manage debt, protect your credit, and negotiate better financial terms. It's not just about paying off debt but building a strategy that protects your financial future.

Here is what no one talks about, what actions steps should you take after a BK to regain a good credit score. Here are the steps. The credit bureaus don't work for you, they work for the creditors and they only report what the creditors report to them. Unless you use the laws in your favor, […]

If you haven't heard, the government is giving people with good credit scores higher interest rates when it comes to getting a home loan. WHAT? Why are they punishing good credit? Well, as usual, David Sidoni is here to give you the REAL story behind those clickbait headlines, and it's not quite as bad as it sounds. But, keep listening so you know what's up and how it affects you. Here are some takeaways from today's conversation: Episode Highlights: [02:26] What's Going On? So, these headlines tell you that the government is the one behind all this. Well, not exactly. It's a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), which, in this case, is supervised by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and is run like a for-profit business. Weird, right? They're called Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and they are the ones that give out the loans. BUT it gets wilder. These loans, although the organizations are advised by a government-appointed director, aren't backed or insured by government money. And it's these ones that are facing the good credit score punishment, not ones that ARE backed by government money, so FHA, USDA, and VA loans are safe. [11:11] So, What Should You know? So, those with higher down payments and higher credit scores usually pay less, but with this new policy, you'll still pay less than people with low down payments and low credit scores, but the difference isn't that big. So, it's not as good for lower score people and not as bad for higher score people. Now, upfront fees for loans from Freddie and Fannie will face some changes called “loan level price adjustments.” These will tweak interest rates for many home buyers (remember, not those backed by government funds). [21:31] Is This a Subsidy? To get to the point, it's not exactly a subsidy. It's not really a Robin Hood situation where you're taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It's really just minimizing the cost difference in the spectrum. But, as a business, this really just doesn't make any sense because it doesn't even the playing field the way it should. But don't be too concerned about this, because if you're getting ready to buy a home, this could change by the time you are ready.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: The Drive at 5: According to The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, the Biden Administration is seeking to implement a new rule which “will raise mortgage fees for borrowers with good credit to subsidize higher-risk borrowers. Under the rule, which goes into effect May 1, home buyers with a good credit score over 680 will pay about $40 more each month on a $400,000 loan, and upward depending on the size of the loan. Those who make down payments of 20% on their homes will pay the highest fees. Those payments will then be used to subsidize higher-risk borrowers through lower fees.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/upside-down-mortgage-policy-212fd736 Jeff Zymeri of National Review writes, “[t]he Supreme Court agreed to hear Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a case which could see an end to Chevron deference, in which courts defer to a federal agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute.” Could this potentially reduce the executive branch's growing authority and restore power to Congress?

During the interview, Musk emphasized the necessity for respecting free speech—arguing: “The thing about censorship is, that for those who would advocate for it, just remember, at some point it will be turned on you.” On Monday, Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, attended a court hearing related to child support payments in an ongoing Arkansas paternity case. Could this case inadvertently shine light on how Hunter earns money?
